Contrasts Are Needed To Experience Life

Do you know how it is to be cold? Of course you do.

Do you also know how it is to be hot? Yup.

Do you know why you know how it is to be cold or hot? It’s because you’ve experienced the contrast.

Imagine, you were born on a planet where it was cold all the time. All the time. You could never get warm. Ever. Would you know how it would be to be warm? Would you even have a word for being warm? You probably wouldn’t even have a word for being cold. It would just be called being normally temperatured or something like that.

You get my point, I hope.

Humans need contrasts in life to really experience life wholly. We need black to experience white. We need dark to experience light. We need shit to experience awesome. (more…)

[Ep 50] “Infinite Patience Yields Immediate Results”

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about a quote that has become my mantra, in the last few years.”Infinite Patience Yields Immediate Results.”

As many other entrepreneurs, or just human beings in general, I am often impatient.

I want things to happen right away. I want to know if what I’m doing is going to have a positive or negative outcome, before I waste my time and efforts on it.

Being impatient is completely natural, and I’m sure a lot of you feel that way.

But the downside, is that instead of enjoying the journey, you end up anxious, jealous, fearful, focusing only on the end result of whatever you are doing, building, or creating. (more…)

[Ep 49] Show Your Vulnerable Side To Gain Connection

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about how showing our vulnerability helps us gain stronger connections.

I used to be watching and waiting for other people to open themselves first, before I would allow them to see my weaknesses, my vulnerability.

But I realized that I was wasting strong, beautiful, meaningful connections, simply by refusing to put myself out there.

I want to share with you guys how, and why, I now throw myself in the deep and open myself to people, whether to a single individual or a group.

By revealing my vulnerable side, I have gained much deeper connections, and I want to talk about it so you can do it too! (more…)

How To Manifest Awesome On A Daily Basis

Do you want to manifest awesome daily? I know you do. Who wouldn’t?

I was sitting down with a friend the other day at a birthday party and we started chatting about all of the random stuff that keeps on happening to me. I told him the story of my mastermind group meet-up. A few days ago, my two person mastermind group met up to discuss money blocks. We were busy chatting away at this beautiful coffee shop in Chiang Mai called Graph Table, when a random man walks up to our table and stands there staring at me. I remembered at that point that I had asked this individual to drop off a book I was interested in borrowing from him. I introduced him to my friend, and he sat down to have a coffee with us.

Four hours later, he was still sitting with us, now part of our money blocks discussion. It was one of the most enlightening discussions I have had in a long time. It was even crazier because I was discussing deep dark money secrets with a complete stranger.

I wondered out loud at the birthday party why this stuff keeps on happening to me where I manifest awesome daily.

My friend replied, ‘It’s because you are so open to everything. Most people would have shut the person out and told them that you are having a private conversation. But you accepted the universe’s gift to you and invited him to your money blocks discussion. That’s where the magic happens. It happens at the extremes. It doesn’t happen when we are safe and secluded, but when we are open and out there.’ (more…)

[Ep 48] Knowledge Doesn’t Equate To Or Mean Success

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about why knowledge alone won’t bring you success.

Living amongst a wide digital nomad community, I meet a lot of people who have read the books, listened to podcasts, and joined conferences or talks. These people have been inspired, impressed, energized.

But was this enough to have an impact on their life?

I love to learn and know that this is an addictive process. To be successful, I have to convert my knowledge into the lasting change or income I am hoping for.

I have to constantly go beyond the endorphin rush coming from what I have read, watched, or heard, and take action over and over again, to reach what I am going for. (more…)

[Ep 47] Do Not Give Away Your Services For Free

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about why you should charge for your services.

Over the years, I have given away a lot of my time and learning to others, thinking I was doing the right thing.

I wanted to help people, and so thought the right thing to do was to do it for free. But, as I came to learn, giving away my time and work for free wasn’t the answer. Acting this way was actually devaluing me.

In fact, since I stopped worrying about charging for my services, I’m attracting more and more of my ideal clients. Which is so great!

The result is a win-win economy, where I get value from the value I give and share!

That is the kind of economy that I want to be a part of for decades to come.

Listen Up! Silence Is That Secret Sauce You Are Searching For.

In the past year, I have started off my mornings with something really special. SILENCE.

I wake up, perform my morning ablutions, and sit down on my bed or chair to stare off into space. I wouldn’t call it a meditation, but more like active day-dreaming. I sit and stare off into the white space, or close my eyes, and let my mind wander anywhere and everywhere.

It has actually become my favourite time of day. I let my mind journey to all of the different realms of time and space. In my daydreams, I can do anything and I can be anywhere. There is one difference between other people’s daydreaming and mine. I call my daydreaming active because I am quite conscious through the entire process. I pay attention to where my mind likes to wander.

When we are dreaming at night, and our subconscious is at play, there are no limitations to us and our capabilities. We are all-powerful. When I daydream during the day, and I let my mind frolic, I feel like I am listening to what my subconscious wants from life. I am listening to what I truly want from my life. In this way, I am not letting society, or my parents’ dreams for me dictate my own dreams.

Conscious DayDreaming

Have you ever daydreamed consciously? I bet not. If you did end up daydreaming, you probably thought it was a waste of time, like I used to. (more…)

[Ep 46] Trust The Process, And Let Go To Achieve True Success

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about why we should let go and trust the process.

As an entrepreneur and a traveller, I have often devised a plan, only to end up going astray.

The main lesson I have learned, is that no matter what we do, we have to keep our faith in what we cannot see and trust that we will be ok no matter what happens!

Life is a journey, so we better take the ride and enjoy it, without worrying constantly about the outcome.

No matter what your projects or goals are, just commit to the work and trust the process!

If we allow life to reveal itself through us, and consent to everything that happens to us, we will worry less and be happier. (more…)

[Ep 45] Slow Down Especially When You Feel Like Rushing

In this episode, I’ll be chatting about how slowing down will get you ahead, even better than rushing all the time.

We all compare ourselves to others at some point. As a result, we feel like we are not doing enough.

We get carried away doing activities for the sake of it, rather than focusing on what matters and what is truly important to us.

We end up trapped in a cycle of having to rush even more, amplifying and bringing more stress into our life.

It has been showing scientifically that humans are unable to multi-task. Our brain only holds one thought at a time. That is how it functions. When we multi-task, our brains are moving from task to task really fast, so that we think we are multi-tasking. It has been shown that multi-tasking causes us to be less productive than when we concentrate on one task at a time. (more…)
